💜♠️ Asexual Awareness Week 💜♠️
This is your periodic reminder that asexuality is a real thing 🏳️‍🌈

And yes, my grey-asexual ass actually wrote a book that contains sexual content 😱 slow-burn but still 🔥 I'm no less ace 😌
Also: articles in the QP 📝

A screenshot of a tweet from 25 January, 2021.

Hey, just a PSA:
Asexuality is a real thing. Same for demi- and grey-asexual, and all the other microlabels under the ace umbrella 💜🖤💜
It is not a fucking "made-up identity" 😤
Also, fyi: libido =/= sexual attraction. Some aces have sex, some don't, all are equally valid ace.

The tweet has 1129 reposts, 25 quotes, and 2788 likes.

Queer, slow-burn erotic gothic horror.
The book cover is shown surrounded by tropes. It reads:
Sapphic,
Overcoming trauma.
Polyam F/F/M.
Kill your abusers,
Standalone,
Hurt/comfort,
Kinky lord,
Blood-drinking & cannibalism.

Lord Deminas is known to be cruel. Yet, he's rather protective of Meya, his new chambermaid, and punishes anyone who dares hurt her. Servants regularly vanish, and with the Lord now drinking her blood, Meya and her paramour need to avoid the same happening to either of them.

I think I might finally have a date chosen for bookstore opening 👀 I have a lot left to do and my gma’s passing set me about 2 weeks behind where I planned, but I believe I have a real idea now of when I’ll be ready!

In other news, tote bags arrived and they’re amazing quality!

One of the hardest parts of promoing my novella is that it's a trans self-discovery story. And despite recognizing who I am, I also don't feel like I belong as much as trans/enby authors who have been writing for so much longer and so much better than me. Their books deserve love.

I’m slowly re-emerging into the world. My brain has been silent hill fog lately and I’ve struggled to catch up on my grad assignments. I have 1000 calls to make and things to order. Things to build. My grandma was supposed to be at Plot Twist Cafe for opening day, but life happens. We keep going.

There’s no easy way to say this, but it feels wrong to just disappear and reappear without talking about it at all.

My grandma unexpectedly passed at the end of last week.

This has put a slight delay on Bookstore Things (not major, further updates soon) but ya know. It’s been tough.

The Devil in the Woods, my teen horror, takes place during October & ends on Halloween! What better way to invite you to give it a look than with snippets?

Felix is our main character and starts the novella going to debunk an urban legend (too bad it's real)!

🕯️ books.earlronove.com/thedevilinth...

A snippet from The Devil in the Woods. It's all in black and white. To the left is an illustration of Felix with his white hair, worried expression, and wearing a flannel. To the right of him is the snippet and it reads: "With another deep breath, Felix pulled a match free. Time to debunk an urban legend.

Felix followed the dirt path inside and as he stepped past the threshold, he lit the first match. It illuminated his surroundings in a flickering light that sent shadows dancing beyond the trees. Another step forward and the flame went out."

Below the snippet is where to find the book and that is: books.earlronove.com/thedevilinthewoods
